- Exposure will kill you, especially in Canada!
- In grant writing, KT is showing that she is using Canadian talent, and showcase Canadian stories.
- KT is writing an audio drama containing five Canadian folk pieces.
- Tee is disappointed by the lack of back-bacon, but this is more about awareness of Canadian culture.
- Breaking down the budget is important. Where does every penny go?
- KT is asking for a modest amount, but how did she learn how to write this?
- Friends are very useful, especially when they have taken a grant writing course
- Writing a grant is not a press release. It is an academic breakdown. Plain words, plain paper.
- Use affirmative words, as if you are already in process.
- So why didn’t KT use Kickstarter or Paetron?
- KT actually does believe in spreading Canadian culture—that’s why!
- Pip talks a little bit about something similar in New Zealand, but not being able to find enough actors…New Zealand actors!
- We talk about government programs…
- Just because something is produced in Canada, doesn’t make it Canadian…
- What happens to a grant after you’ve written it
- Letters of support from people like…Tee and Pip. Pip has experience with introducing people to foreign cultures!
- Are you a professional?
- Campfire Radio Theatre, Coxwood History Fun Park, and Beneath Northumberland are where you can find Blythe Haynes in action.
